42 Dugg Drops Off Grim Single “Wock N Red”

If there is a rapper that embodies the city of Detroit, it is 42 Dugg. Sure, there are plenty of others, but his pit bull-like mentality in his music really drives that point home. The gravelly-voiced MC has been enjoying these last several months as a free man. He was serving a one-year sentence for failing to surrender himself in what was supposed to be a six-month bout after a 2020 federal gun investigation. One of the ways 42 Dugg has been relishing this time has been through dropping singles like “Wock N Red.”

This is now the 29-year-old’s third solo single and fourth total release following his time behind bars. That outlier is a feature appearance on a deluxe Sexyy Red track “Perfect Match,” which also saw G Herbo on it. Probably the biggest success for Dugg so far has been “SpinDatBac.” Part of the reason for that was because there a was a video that was making the rounds on social media.

Quotable Lyrics:

Touch one these chains, I’m in the crowd with it
Foul n****, I hop out with this b**** and get the yeah-yeah-yeah
Cuz ran off, they find him dead, dead, dead
Me, Apple, Ric and Martez known for huntin’ s***
Nah, what’s that drug? You turn one into two, we call it dog
Heard that young n****s still like to hoop, I like to ball

42 Dugg Triumphantly Returns to Detroit with Star-Studded ‘Welcome Home’ Concert

est gee

Detroit’s own 42 Dugg marked his triumphant return to the music scene with a spectacular “Welcome Home” concert at Little Caesars Arena on Friday (Jan. 20). The sold-out event turned into a star-studded affair, featuring electrifying performances from A-listers like Meek Mill, Yo Gotti, Lil Baby, Lil Durk, Jeezy, and more.

Notably, Dugg seized the moment to bridge gaps and foster unity within Detroit’s hip-hop community. The concert witnessed a historic reconciliation as Dugg brought together long-standing rivals, Doughboyz Cashout and Team Eastside, effectively ending the city’s East-West rivalry. The gesture aimed to promote solidarity and collaboration among local artists.

The homecoming celebration also showcased Detroit’s rich talent, with performances by Babyface Ray, Peezy, Dej Loaf, and other influential figures in the city’s hip-hop scene. The collective effort not only celebrated Dugg’s return but also emphasized the power of music to unite communities.

Dugg’s journey back to the stage follows a period of incarceration from May 2022 to October 2023. Since his release, he wasted no time returning to the studio, teaming up with Yo Gotti immediately after leaving prison.

Before his hiatus, 42 Dugg delivered the acclaimed Free Dem Boyz project, featuring collaborations with Future, Lil Durk, Fivio Foreign, Roddy Ricch, and EST Gee. The album debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200, with standout tracks like “4 Da Gang” making waves on the charts.

As the sold-out “Welcome Home” concert echoed with the cheers of Detroiters, it marked Dugg’s triumph and symbolized the resilience and unity of the city’s vibrant hip-hop community.

Two weeks ago, Sexyy Red teased a forthcoming deluxe version of her Hood Hottest Princess album, which initially dropped in June. She posted an Instagram video showing the presumed deluxe album cover soundtracked by her rapping, “F*ck my baby dad.” (The St. Louis-bred rapper is pregnant.)

Luckily, we don’t have to wait much longer to get the full Hood Hottest Princess (Deluxe). In fact, that is a gross understatement. The album drops in less than 12 hours — at midnight, December 1.

Sexyy Red shared the tracklist on Instagram, which includes the aforementioned “Booty Meat (F My Baby Dad),” “Ghetto Princess” featuring Chief Keef, “Perfect Match” featuring 42 Dugg and G Herbo, “I Might” featuring Summer Walker, and “Hood Rats” featuring Sukihana.

Sexyy Red just wrapped her Hood Hottest Princess Tour, which spanned from October 16 to Wednesday night, November 29, at The Fillmore in San Francisco, California.

Most recently, Sexyy Red released the video for “Free My N***a.” At the beginning, Sexyy Red says to her pregnant belly, “Say ‘Free My Daddy,’” and we hear a manufactured baby’s voice say, “Free dada.” After that, Sexyy Red — in red lingerie — leads a protest to the gates of a prison and visits with her lover inside.

Hood Hottest Princess (Deluxe) is out on 12/1 via Open Shift.

42 Dugg Drops J. Cole-Backed Single “SpinDatBac”

42 Dugg is clearly happy to be back in society after a one-year prison sentence. The pit-bull rapper was found guilty of failure to surrender himself. Furthermore, Dugg failed to serve a six-month sentence following a 2020 federal gun investigation. But, he is back in full force.

Since his release on October 16, the Detroit artist has been committed to feeding his fans. A week later he was back in the studio and dropped a hype single, “Go Again.” Travis Scott was repeatedly posting it on his Instagram stories, so you know it was popping off. Now, he has a co-sign from another top-flight name.

Listen To “SpinDatBac” By 42 Dugg

Over the past few years, J. Cole has been more supportive of the younger generation of artists. His recent feature placements have been proof of that. In a recent video clip, he is seen having a chat with Dugg in the studio. In addition, the recently freed rapper was playing his new single, “SpinDatBac,” for Cole. He was messing with it and it might be the reason we have it on our hands today. We see why the North Carolina MC likes it. The beat goes hard and Dugg is bringing the gritty and grimy energy all throughout.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new single from 42 Dugg, “SpinDatBac?” Is this the best single the Detroit rapper has put out this year? Will we get a future track with him and J. Cole on it? Do you think these two would sound good on a song together? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

‘Rap Sh!t’: Here’s The Music You Heard In Season 2, Episode 2

'Rap Shit' 202 Aida Osman as Shawna
MAX

(WARNING: Spoilers for this week’s Rap Sh!t episode will be found below.)

The events in the second episode of Max’s Rap Sh!t season two, titled “Heavy Traffic,” are soundtracked by songs that help to accentuate the emotions behind each scene. You can find a list of them below and details about the scenes the records were heard in.

Hood Brat, A.Chic, TT The Artist, Raedio — “Call Me Daddy”

We hear this record during the opening scene of “Heavy Traffic” as Shawna, Mia, Reina Reign, Duke, and Francois film a TikTok on their tour bus. The group shows off the bus and their new tour lifestyle to their followers with the video.

Smino — “Settle Down” Feat. Cory Henry & Ravyn Lenae

Smino’s Luv 4 Rent record plays around the 3:03 mark as Shawna & Mia get ready for their first performance. The duo is dressed in aprons as they believe that they’ll be matching Reina Reign, but Duke informs them that Reina will not be on theme with them which frustrates both Shawna and Mia.

Nardo Wick — “G Nikes” Feat. Polo G

Nardo Wick’s track with Polo G is heard around the 4:42 mark as we check in with Lamont and his daughter Melissa. Due to an early release from her school, and the unavailability of Lamont’s grandmother and Mia’s mom, Lamont is forced to bring Melissa to the studio with him as he works with an artist.

Reina Reign — “Tongue (Remix)” Feat. Shawna & Mia

Around the 6:38 mark, this track plays as Shawna & Mia take the stage with Reina Reign to perform their remix of “Tongue.” Though the performance went well, it’s clear that Shawna & Mia aren’t on the same page during this performance. Shawna, frustrated by how she and Mia looked on stage, confronts Mia about their performance, but it doesn’t go too well.

Raedio & Lord AK — “Suicide Mission”

We hear this song around the 13:08 mark as Lord AK goes on stage to begin his performance. Shawna, impressed, is in the crowd watching the performance before she’s pulled away by Duke and Mia to go to Lord AK’s green room.

Future — “Like Me” Feat. 42 Dugg & Lil Baby

Future’s I Never Liked You song plays around the 17:13 mark as Duke finally gets into Lord AK’s green room where the party is live and active. Duke meets one of Lord AK’s closest associates, Gat, and offers him some party favors to enhance his party experience.

Ron Suno — “Door”

This track plays around the 18:42 mark as Duke finds Shawna & Mia in the party. She’s clearly under the influence after taking a bit of cocaine with Gat. Duke launches into an energetic rant about making money and finding opportunities that leaves Shawna and Mia very confused.

Dear Silas — “Smoke” Feat. Sauce Father

Around the 19:45 mark, the track can be heard as Mia joins the fun of the party to play a game of flip cup with a gentleman we later find out to be Courtney Lou, the artist that Lamont told Mia to look out for. Meanwhile, Shawna stumbles into a few awkward moments at the party including one where she’s told that she gives “Rapsody vibes… if she was a hoe.”

Peachcurls — “Ass Shaker”

Peachcurls’ track can be heard around the 22:19 mark as the party in Lord AK’s room is still going strong. Shawna tries to talk to Gat but he pays her no mind. He instead kicks off a game where the winner will get to go on Lord AK’s tour bus. This game does nothing but show Gat’s colorism, and when Shawna calls him out for it and flexes her rap knowledge, he rudely sprays her with champagne.

Baby Rose — “Fight Club” Feat. Georgia Anne Muldrow

Baby Rose’s Through And Through highlight plays around the 28:27 mark to close the episode as Shawna cleans herself after she is showered with champagne by Gat. She’s also frustrated by the disconnect between her and Mia, something that only gets worse when Mia lets the crew know that she’ll fly into the next city because she got an offer to spend some time with Cash.

New episodes of ‘Rap Sh!t’ are available on Max on Thursday at 3am EST/ 12 pm PST.

Here The Label That 42 Dugg Is Signed To

On October 18, “We Paid” rapper 42 Dugg was released from prison early after being sentenced to one year for failing to report to prison after violating his probation from a previous illegal weapons possession conviction. Following the news of his release, fans took to social media to urge him to record new music as soon as possible. So what is 42 Dugg’s label situation?

Under the record label information for 42 Dugg’s last album, Free Dem Boyz, which dropped in 2021, it seems he inked a deal as part of a joint venture between Lil Baby’s 4PF (Four Pockets Full) and Yo Gotti’s CMG (Collective Music Group).

When asked about the decision to ink a deal with 42 Dugg in May 2019, 42 Dugg told Billboard, “I’m really proud of Dugg’s growth and development over the years. His hard work is starting to pay off, and he’s only gonna get better as an artist. Baby and I know Dugg has the potential to be a superstar, and we’re both gonna do everything we can to keep putting him in the best positions to succeed.”

That makes 42 Dugg labelmates with artists such as Rylo Rodriguez, GloRilla, and Uproxx cover artist Moneybagg Yo, to name but a few.

42 Dugg Comes Back With A Vengeance On His First Song Out Of Prison With “Go Again”

Just last week, gritty Detroit artist 42 Dugg was released from his year-long prison stay for failure to surrender himself. However, that was not the whole story. Dugg also failed to serve a six-month sentence following a 2020 federal gun investigation. That is all over now and he is ready to get back into the studio and feed the fans what they want.

He did just that. His first wish was to hit the recording booth. One can assume this latest track, “Go Again,” is a result of that studio session. What might settle that idea is that the accompanying music video includes footage of Dugg and Gotti embracing outside of the prison walls. Now that he is a free man, he sounds as hungry as ever.
